It was awesome to get community feedback on what is going on with Windows 8. In this post I do a little recap of what Ted Neward had to say after day 1. Here is a summary:
- Reactions to Windows 8 (specifically the tablet and store stories)
- Comments about Microsoft’s Execution and strategy behind releasing hardware and bits
- Thoughts on the FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt) coming into the //BUILD/ Conference
- Ideas on the tight integration (AKA WinRT) as well as new app contracts
- Thoughts on what DevExpress can do in this new model
- Jedi words of wisdom – Patience and execution
Take a look at the interview:

The coolest thing about Ted is that he has the pragmatic edge to help us understand what is really going on and how we can move forward.
As always, if there are any comments and/or questions, feel free to get a hold of me!
